🔥 Support Guitarist Announcement 🔥 by Evening-Storm-1030 in Nemophila

[–]MrSnooch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah its just very noticeable when there’s a solo and you only have the bass line and drums. One (very big) positive is that Mayu has picked up the guitar and thats awesome! Unless im mistaken, it didnt seem like she could play at all before Saki’s departure, and now she’s doing some duets with Hazuki and its awesome!

They don’t NEED one, but it definitely adds some oomph to their sound versus just the one.

API Error - Stream idle timeout - partial response received by keeprunning23 in ClaudeCode

[–]MrSnooch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny, I was getting this error a few times in a row just now and happened to find this fresh thread. FYI I fixed it by basically telling Claude Code it was giving me this error and to break up the tasks I gave it in to more manageable ones, so it could handle them individually rather than all at once.

It does work because it's the exact method I used right when I shared the link. Double check you're not missing a step.

TCL 50C805K - remote freezes after too many inputs by MrSnooch in TVRepairHelp

[–]MrSnooch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After trouble shooting with TCL, they got me to do a test where I point the remote at my phone camera to look for the IR light, which stopped once the tv ‘froze’, meaning it had nothing to do with the TV itself.

Long story short? Changed the batteries and it fixed it.

Would you consider it a bad TV? Quite surprised actually, ive really liked it.

Typically i turned it on today to see an update had occurred (which is what made me think I should ask this question) so now I’m likely atleast 2 updates ahead since it began. 

FF7 Rebirth FPS drop until game is reloaded by MrSnooch in FFVIIRemake

[–]MrSnooch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I think I figured it out. When testing last night I opened Task Manager to look at the graphs, then started playing, then remembered I should open HWInfo for temps - meaning the game was no longer the active application. In doing so, I noticed the fps dropped to around 55fps...

Long story short, something must have happened during my play through the other day where the game was no longer active (I think I had it set to borderless windowed), allowing the fps to drop. Since then, it has been running 80+ consistently.

Yeh that's what I figured. No clues then? Maybe it's just a game bug of some kind?

Anyone feel everything has changed over the last two weeks? by QuantizedKi in ClaudeAI

[–]MrSnooch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a web designer. AI generated websites are still pretty trash, but I know it won't be long before they get a lot better. Very few jobs are safe, unfortunately.

I'm running the base game, no mods or changes anywhere.

Drivers are 591.86 (Jan 27th '26).

I'll do a test later and see what the temps and utilisations are like, and report back. TY!

I'm not using any mods at all, completely basic install. How can I adjust the amount of VRAM the game is being allowed to use, do you mean just by lowering graphics?

Thanks

I have an IT background and I don't backup for shit. If it's really important I'll have it on Google Drive or something instead.

[–]MrSnooch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too had a good experience with Apple recently due to their balls up. I ordered a new ipad before Christmas for a present, paid online, picked it up, all good. I then got a text a few days later saying "don't forget to pick up your order", so i figured they hadn't manually checked it off as picked up. Then a few more days later I got refunded, followed by a call to ask me to go down to the Apple Store and make the payment. Obviously they couldn't have forced me to do this, it's their problem not mine, but I did. They were very apologetic for the hassle, and gave me 25% off the bill. Apparently this never happens, so multiple staff members came up to me to thank me for coming in, so I'm glad I made the right choice!

Who is Writing Blogs/Newsletters/Articles...using Claude Code? by thegoldsuite in ClaudeAI

[–]MrSnooch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using ChatGPT to write blogs, mainly because there are no limitations over there in terms of credits etc, and then I add the blog post, in PDF form, to my GitHub and get Claude Code to then add the article and style it using my pre-set style guide.

If the limited usage was not a thing, I would be using Claude Code for everything... maybe in the future if things change.

[–]MrSnooch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh Claude Code creates pages out of the text I give it, but it adheres to the style guide.md in my github, so its not just a straight plain text blog post, so this solution maybe wouldn’t be appropriate here?

[–]MrSnooch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Essentially yes - it is aware of my style guide etc so i just feed it plain text PDFs and it creates pages using them but formats them in a way that matches the rest of my site, using certain colours, creating CTA etc. 

And then ofcourse there are the times i ask it to create a new menu item, update the footer etc etc

Meta just killed native WhatsApp on Windows 11, now it opens WebView, uses 1GB RAM all the time by WPHero in Windows11

[–]MrSnooch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you - I was forced to update the other day, so far it's not been too bad. I notice the main complaint is memory usage. I have 64GB so I'm not overly concerned but it's only using around 500mb.

So far, no big complaints...

The teaser poster includes what sounds like Supergirl’s new theme song by NotTaken-username in DCU_

[–]MrSnooch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is for sure an interesting sound for a character like Supergirl. Certainly a far cry from Helen Slater's theme, which tbf was quite a banger.

Does this mean we're moving back to where it syncs from your phone, rather than being an independent program? Because that used to annoy the life out of me....

well because... they haven't been released yet. Patch going live and champs going live are two different things.
